It's documented in Underground[1] that Spafford was the target of some crackers, eager to get info on the latest security vulrabilities; information that was difficult to obtain in the 80s. They intended to break into his computer and take it.
It's a wonderful book all about the hacking scene of 80s and early 90s. It covers a young Julian Assange, but that's not why you should read it.
